Chapter 108 Conspiracy, Secret 1

Just as Hoshino Kaede and Nara Shikaichi were discussing, an undercurrent was slowly flowing beneath the ground of Konoha.

The sunlight from the sky cannot penetrate the deep darkness underground, inside a sealed room.

Five people were sitting in a circle, each with ulterior motives and different expressions on their faces, but none of them showed a greedy and hypocritical look.

They are the representatives of the Fire Nation in Konoha, and behind them are the five major political families of the Fire Nation.

It can be said that half of the political power of the Fire Nation is in their hands, and they have a prominent status and high prestige.

Those in Konoha are members of the branch family. After all, the main family has to manage the capital and cannot focus their energy on Konoha.

Besides, Konoha cannot be manipulated by political means. What matters more is your strength.

Fortunately, Konoha's highest decision-making power cannot be easily corrupted, otherwise Konoha would have fallen into the hands of the Fire Nation long ago.

Those who can become Hokage are all powerful people. Standing at a high position, they can see far and will sneer at those so-called temptations.

Even the acting Hokage Danzo looked down on them, let alone the official Hokage.

Looking at the long-lost faces in front of him, Hatoyama Zhiming sneered in his heart. If Konoha had not been in the war, it is estimated that none of them would have come to him.

"You guys are not here to reminisce about the past, right? If you have something to say, just say it. I'm very busy and can't relax all day long."

Hatoyama Tomoaki made it clear directly that he was too lazy to play along with a few people.

The most important thing is to work hard to make money and improve his status in the family, everything else comes second.

Junichiro Koizumi said with a wry smile: "Of course it's something important, a great thing!"

Hatoyama Tomoaki looked at them suspiciously and found that they all seemed eager to make a move, with greed flashing in their eyes from time to time.

"Good news? Konoha is at war right now, and martial law has been imposed. Even the merchant caravans have to be searched. I can't think of anything good that will happen for the time being."

Junichiro Koizumi smiled without saying anything, his narrow eyes looking at the initiator standing beside him. It was because of him that this gathering could take place.

Of course, Hatoyama Tomoaki knew what he meant, and then he looked at the person who had been sitting beside him in silence.

Yasushi Fukuda folded his arms, looked around at everyone, raised his head slightly, and seemed to enjoy everyone's gaze.

After playing tricks for a while, he grinned and said, "Of course it's about making a lot of money. A big customer has entrusted us with a task."

"Big customer? Why haven't I heard any news about it?" An Jing Che also said with a skeptical tone.

Their respective channels are open, so even if there is a big customer, several people will definitely know about it at the same time.

This is also one of the reasons why they can live in peace in Konoha. Everyone makes money together and keeps to themselves.

"You won't go back on your promise and do something behind the scenes, will you?" Takahashi asked loudly with a stern face, slamming the table.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn. The four of them looked at Fukuda Yasushi straight, as if they were going to break up with him if they didn't say anything.

Fukuda Yasushi was not in a hurry. He took a sip of tea leisurely, pretending not to see anything and not being anxious at all.

Instead, he looked at Takahashi Hajime provocatively.

He could tell at a glance what these people were thinking. Questioning was just a cover. In the final analysis, they just wanted to gain more benefits.

You are all old foxes, who are you doing this for?

After a long while, still no one said a word, suddenly Junichiro Koizumi chuckled, breaking the silent atmosphere.

"Hahaha, Futian, since you are a big customer, I guess you must be making a lot of profit. Introduce some to us too. Don't worry, we won't treat you unfairly."

Hearing this, Fukuda Yasushi smiled hypocritically, which was even uglier than crying, but he didn't want to offend anyone because he didn't want to.

Koizumi's words made the remaining three people nod their heads. They thought that if they could make a lot of money, giving some benefits would not be a big deal. Everyone would get what they needed.

"That's great." Fukuda Yasushi raised the corner of his mouth. Originally, he was going to take all the profits for himself, but the amount was too large, even for him, he would feel full in one go.

It would be better to get more people to join, so as to gain more benefits and kill two birds with one stone.

The agreement was reached, the five people smiled at each other, and then Yasushi Fukuda talked about the requirements of the commission.

"Chiyo from the Sand Village secretly sent someone to find me and said that she was willing to buy war supplies at a price 20% higher than the market price. I want as many as I can get, with no limit on the quantity."

They had never expected that it would be this kind of commission. The smiles on the four people's faces froze instantly and then slowly disappeared.

Fukuda Yasushi is so bold that he dares to collude with the enemy and sell military supplies. He is so audacious!

"Futian, have you ever thought about how big the impact would be if this matter were exposed? Can you afford the consequences?"

Takahashi was the first to speak, his eyes interrogating, he was still in shock.

"Consequences?" Fukuda Yasushi sneered, seeming to disdain his words. "What consequences can there be? The people behind us are not something Konoha can afford to offend."

"Even if we are discovered, what can they do to us?"

"Besides, we won't give them this opportunity. The route is extremely secret and there is absolutely no possibility of leakage!"

He was confident and sworn, and didn't think Konoha had the courage to tear its face apart.

In his mind, Konoha was just a small village supported by the Fire Nation.

Even if the current Hokage has tough means, he is still not up to par and is far inferior to the five major families.

Even if the truth is revealed, I can still get away with it. Then I can gain both the money and the people. How can I not be happy?

Hearing Fukuda Yasushi's confidence, they couldn't help but hesitate.

Because what Fukuda Yasushi said was what they thought, so it didn't matter even if it was exposed.

More importantly, the Sand Ninja gave too much.

You know, the price of military supplies in Konoha has risen rapidly compared to the past.

With another 20% premium, the profit will be even more substantial.

Money is attractive and is clearly tempting them.

As the saying goes, if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. What does Konoha's defeat have to do with them?

Thinking of the huge profits, several people were immediately excited, and the scales in their hearts gradually tilted towards money.

Fukuda Yasushi looked at the expressions of several people, and when he saw that their hearts were moved, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Sure enough, things turned out just as he expected. These people couldn't resist the temptation in the end.

"Okay, we'll accept this commission." The few of them persisted for a while, then their defense collapsed and they immediately agreed.

Fukuda Yasushi laughed and said, "Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation" x4

Just as everyone was celebrating, a tiny, invisible flying insect slowly flew out and no one noticed anything unusual.

The so-called complacency refers to the present moment. Although the secret room is highly concealed, it is not impeccable.

At this moment, their conversation was heard word for word by the ninjas from the Aburame clan who were sent to keep an eye on them.

It can be said that there is always a loophole...
